The Screech Owls: 2: The Medlars Ripen

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Honore De Balzac, dramatised in four parts by Joan O'Connor

The Chateau at Vivetieres seems to the young Republican officers to be a rat trap and they the rats, but they are sworn to follow Marie de Verneuil, and she, preferring to doubt or believe as passion sways her, is prepared to play with fire and follow Montauran to the Chateau.
